Yesterday we buried Janice. I don't know how anyone else felt. I can only say how I felt. I vowed to myself that for Danny's sake, and the girl sake, that I would hold it together. And I believe that I did pretty well. And I was thinking as we all stood at the graveside how devastated my brother Danny, and my nieces Angela and Stacy must be at that moment. Danny, after all the company has gone and the house empty, except for the echoes from the past. That's when it's going to really hit my brother. And my nieces, Angela and Stacy, who often talk to their mother about the problems that they had in their life, or tell her the exciting news of the day's event's. They will miss her so very much. It's going to be hard the next few days and months for the three of them. And I pray that God will be there to comfort them when they need it. A mother is a loss one never gets over. My mother died quite a few years ago, and I still miss her as if it were yesterday. I still cry often because I miss her so much. And you who have lost your mother know exactly what I'm talking about.

I want to say to my brother Danny, and to my nieces, Angela and Stacy. I believe with every fiber of my being that Janice is safe in the arms of Jesus.

Rev 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ stated these words. I believe these words. I believe there is no death. I believe that Janice left her earthly body just as she took her last breath. And I believe that she was welcomed into heaven with angel’s harps, and Angel choirs. I believe that there were so many hallelujahs, and so many welcome home shouts that to us earthly beings it would have been deafening. I believe that as Janice walked through the Valley of the shadow of death, that she laughed at it shadows knowing there was no such thing for Christians as death. For she knew that a shadow can't harm you. I believe that Janice looked into the face of Jesus Christ and said, please don't let them be sad for me. Please let them have a happy life. Please let them know that I'm okay. Because Janice always did care more for others, then she did herself.

And here's to Janice, I'll see you when I get there. I love you.

Until next time I wish you all health and happiness, may God bless and may God save.
